Brian Robison, Minnesota Vikings DE who has been with the team his entire 9 year career, has suffered a pectoral injury while working out at the Vikings training facility Winter Park this week. Pectoral injuries are kind of nasty things, things which have sidelined several Vikings players in recent history, including Phil Loadholt and Brandon Fusco last season.
There’s not a lot of info surrounding this currently. We don’t know the degree of Robison’s injury … Is it severe enough to require surgery and keep him out for the season? … and we don’t know a time frame for recovery, either. Is he out for a week? A month? Several months? TEN YEARS??! Probably not ten years. And we also don’t fully know what this means for the team. Does this give an opportunity to Scott Crichton to step up? What about that new random dude we drafted, Danielle Hunter? Is he going to step in and fill Robison’s spot for however long he’s out? I do not know the answer to these questions. Because I’m pretty worthless.
But, what I CAN offer you is plenty of speculation of HOW this injury happened. See, I’m extremely familiar with the pectoral muscular region, and have a couple of ideas how this injury maybe occurred. See my notes below, and JUST TELL ME I’M WRONG:
- While doing some butterfly weight exercises, Robison estimated his max rep weight a bit too high and pulled his pectoral muscle straight up off of its tendon. GROSS.
- Robison might have been out fishing, as he’s a big fishing guy, and probably tried to cast his lure out WAY too far. As he tossed his lure, it was with such force that his entire arm came off, including disconnected at his pectoral region. Basically, his arm is gone.
- As he was reading a romance novel, he got to a very exciting chapter and tried flipping through the page too fast, disconnecting his pectoral.
- Clearly, he was jerking it too much. Boom, torn pectoral.
All I really wanted to do here was make a jack off joke. Mission accomplished. Get better soon, Brian!
